The Rev. II. Mcdonald cast the first

the Fifth Ward, although his vote was
challenged. The Prohibition ticket had
on one side the picture of an angel with

night shortly before 10 o'clock, with Lit
tlewood English in the first place,
nearly forty miles ahead of his nearest
competitor. The Englishman early this
morning abandoned his expressed inten-
ton Of trying to beat the worlds record
of 61O miles, and logged along easily
throughout the day A good crowd was
in attendance up to the close Ct the
race, although there was no likeli-
hood of any change IN the position OF
the five pedestrians. The only feature
Of interest tonight was Elson's success
full effort to reach 800 miles. His last
few hours on the track, however, were
rather a distressing sight. The old man
was a physical wreck. and but for the
kindly aid Of Albert, who remained on
the track and walked around with him,
it is believed he would have given up
before he reached the desired goal. He
completed 500 miles at $50 o'clock and
then wabbled on around extra laps.
The race has been a successful one
financially, and Littewood will receive
about -, 200 as his share of the gate
receipts and entrance-fees, Albert about
$1,000, Panchot $500. Noremac $3.50,
and Elson about $500. The manage

$4,000. The following are the scores of

One OF the most pleasant events OF

audience gathered from the college and
the village assembled in the hall than
on any previous occasion. The pro-

lictously carried out. Declarations
we're made by Messrs Petit, Smith, and

ris-subiect. "The Cheerful Rumble
Bee. His speech was interspcrsed with
witticisms and rich thoughts. Then
came essays 10y 1lessrs, Richardson and
Walden. both OF which were excel
lentlv written and read with telling
effect. At this juncture a request
came from the audience COR solo
from Mr.. Waters. Mr.. Waters sang
"Matin Bells" to the delight OF all
present. The next feature of the pro
pramme was an Grafton by G. +. Sher-
rill-subiect, "Notes on New Nation 5

ment of this country, its possibilities,
aud its prominent dangers, and con
cluded with an appeal to young men
to claim their privileges. Then came
the debate, and lively, interesting one
il was. Jones and Waters affirmative,
and Vilnite and Herring negative, were
the debaters. The debate was an inter
esting one, richly enjoyed by the audi
ence. The question, Resolved, That
